Long Hills Of Dry Tarmac

Long hills of dry tarmac

Reach toward

Bright blue sea skies etched by aeroplane speedboats.

sitting on warm white kerb stones picking gravel off the road

Goodbye.

It is September.


A collar, a scarf, tied tightly under the chin.

Body bound tightly with layers of wool and cotton

Buttoned

Against the cold silk fabric of pocket lining.


Hands on reflex stretching in the sunlight, recharging before curling up away from the wind.

Your face framed by scarf and hat is a picture of the season.
